| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a standing figure of Justice at centre, blindfolded and holding a balance scale in her right hand, facing left. In the background, a sailing vessel is shown underway to the left, evoking the maritime commerce of colonial South Australia. The peripheral legend AUSTRALIA encircles the design within a beaded border. The composition is rendered in the allegorical style typical of mid-nineteenth century Australian trade tokens, combining civic symbolism with mercantile imagery. |
